After the dashboard shown the reduced engine power warning on, the throttle was disengaged. The engine had no issues with overheating nor have I found any leaks. It is also idling well. Just in case, I had the oil changed and had the water pump replaced but this didn't solve the issue. What could be causing this? Is there some part that needs to be replaced?
